  • Producer/Musical Director Barbara Schiller

    Born and raised in Syracuse, New York, Barbara graduated from Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, New York, with a B.S. in Music Education. Her musical theater background began at age five, being a member of her father’s musical youth theater group for ten years. Her mother was a violinist. She moved to Wilmington in 1981, and taught band, chorus, and general music for 17 years in various schools. In 1998 she became the Site Manager for Accent Music in North Wilmington. Her love for musical theater was kept alive by being hired as the music director for various musicals at WCS since 1997. She returned to teaching full time in 2006 and was appointed Director of Fine Arts in 2008. Barbara thanks her Lord and Savior for the amazing journey and can't wait for heaven. "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him."

 

 

 

 

7 ½-Cent Raise.....Seriously?

 

 

One of the main problems at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory is that the workers want a
7 ½-cent raise and are willing to go on strike to get it. Nowadays this doesn't seem like much, but the average mill/garment worker in 1954 (when the play was written) made on average about $1.25 an hour, or about $50 a week. The raise would add $3.00 to each paycheck, so the 7 ½-cents would be about a 16% increase.
